All those people i killed and buried in the backyard

Now every time i have to bury someone new - I seem to bump into old friends,
and frankly my dear: Some of them are quite smelly

Yes, 31. The one thing I thought I may be able to do is something to do with audio for the web, as this is quite a new area. I've seen more and more jobs for "web audio producer" advertised. But I've been working in web editorial for the last 9 years, no professional audio experience. The competition for those jobs must be so intense.

I'd go back in time and give myself super hero powers.

I would have packed up the car and moved to Nashville the day after high school graduation instead of staying in my shitty hometown for a girl(of course it didn't work out) and for school(waste of time and money even though I did get a degree) and I wouldn't have abused opiates for 15 years(you name it, I did it). There.

I regret booking my holiday for the 8th of December in such a way that it is close to impossible to change it.

This is going to sound wierd... I have two points; I shouldn't have cheated once, and I should have slept with more chicks. They're not mutually exclusive wishes either.

First, I regret the time I cheated on my ex-fiance. I was too immature at the time to get married, and rather than break off the marriage I cheated to give myself (or her) an excuse to terminate the relationship. I was too stupid to realize that I sould have backed out of a proposal before the wedding and ended it like a gentleman.

I've never cheated since.

Second, I would have spent less time in committed, loving monogamous relationships (including with, but not limited to her) and slutted it up a bit more, particularly when I was performing weekly at a residency in a club and was the "hot commodity" in town.

I neglected to fornicate with far too many very hot women who were interested. Oddly enough, I've also had a lot of potential "office romances" here where I work - and I regret not being able to pursue them because I was in a monogamous relationship at the time.

Today I still think about every woman I could have nailed but didn't, and I wonder what it would have been like...

It's solved now by having an open relationship and a female who digs chicks as much as I do. Better late than never I guess.

My point being, for men who aren't by nature monogamous (and there are a lot out there), be honest with yourself, don't try to force a lifestyle on yourself that doesn't suit everybody.

My biggest regret is not participating in the summer European progam at my college. I was going to do it one summer, but I decided to stay in town and try to start a band. I could have spent the summer in Maastricht Holland hanging out with my best friends, but instead I lived in Boston and worked at CVS all summer and saved up to buy a Slingerland drum kit.

Turns out that early that fall I met the people who I ended up playing in bands with, and I would have met them even if I had gone to Holland. My buddies still talk about how great that summer was, and I mostly remember selling tampons + cigarettes.

I wish I never started playing online line games. Good lord they'll suck you in and waste your time. Oh beautiful addiction. Other than that I wish I would have pursued the music thing a bit more. I grew up in a time when Indianapolis had a small but active techno scene. Some of the folks I knew from those days have gone on to release records and travel abroad to do their thing.
